Great report! One thing that I find interesting is that they brought the pirate animatronic from Creative Enginnering, the same company that created the Rock aFire Explosion formerly found at Showbiz Pizza Place. I’m probably the only one who cares about facts like this Six Flags also purchased a retrofitted Fatz animatronic for fright fest

May 1986 I missed the grand reopening of the now Six Flags Cypress Adventures, but man is it great to be back! I rode the new Intamin standup, The Last Stand, and even though it had a little headbanging problem, it was a lot of fun! I can't wait to see what Six Flags has in store for this park in the future! (by the way, you can now visit Six Flags Cypress Adventure! You can make your own trip report here if you want! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1632705117 ) Welcomed back with a new park sign! I missed this view hmm this one building is newly painted. I wonder what Six Flags is planning Dragon Run sporting new colors Castle section with new carousel Close up of the new Carousel I'm not the only one who waited to ride Excalibur again for a long time Joust with a new coaster poking through the trees Caribbean Port finally has attention! This is the longest line I saw for pirate ship! It's better than no line at all! From the entrance to the pirate ship I wonder where this path leads to The Last Stand! Quite a long line. Expected since it's a new coaster Entrance portal The coaster zooms by the queue allowing for photo ops and to entertain us Themeing About to take my ride on Last Stand! One last photo of The Last Stand Cypress Plunge cooling off riders Twister from a new angle Not a lot of people in line for Runaway Express I picked up a park map on the way out!

August 1985 Cypress Adventures purchased by Six Flags! Six Flags, owner of several parks, purchased Cypress Adventures and they plan to reopen the park for the 1986 season. Six Flags announced they would add the "Six Flags" name to Cypress Adventures. In addition to it, they would add 2 new rides. A carousel in the castle section and a new stand up coaster, The Last Stand, to the park for 1986. Fans of the park are speculating what will happen for the 1986 season in addition to what was announced. The Last Stand concept art

Damn that's so curvy!

April 1985 Cypress Adventures still up for sale with no buyers 5 months after the original owners put Cypress Adventures up for sale, the park is still up for sale with no word on who would buy it, if anyone would buy it at all. As of now, Cypress Adventures remains abandoned awaiting its fate, whether someone would buy it, or if it would close down permanently. One of our crew gained access to the park by officials just to see the current state of the park. Here are the pictures he took below. Entrance sitting without families entering Octopus's original location still empty closed down shops Excalibur's train awaiting its day it would thrill people again Cypress Plunge's logs awaiting riders

Woohoo! Can’t wait to see the finished product!

November 1984 Cypress Adventures put up for sale! Just yesterday on November 18th, Chattanooga's theme park Cypress Adventures was put up for sale by the owners. "We looked at several different options for us and the future of the park. We really wanted to keep the park, but putting it up for sale is the only option we have that can keep the park alive for years. We hope whoever buys the park will keep the charm it has now while also expanding it into a larger park than it is today." -Max and Rolfe Geffery, Owners of Cypress Adventures Fans of Cypress Adventures are speculating who will buy the park.

Just something I noticed. I was looking at the original Six Flags Dubai when I noticed a coaster that looked familiar in one of the concept arts. (I can't find a better picture of the side) I wonder if Maxx Force was planned for a while and Six Flags decided to move it to this park?

August 1984 CYPRESS ADVENTURES ENDS SEASON EARLY! Why did the park close early?[/b] We didn't want to close early, but we had no choice given our financial situation. During this season and last, we had to close a few rides and lay off some of our staff because we were losing money fast. Ultimately, we have to close the park entirely for the time being. Do you know what was causing your financial issues? It mostly factors into our recent additions like Excalibur and Caribbean Port. We wanted to make Cypress Adventures a park as big as Disney, but our impatience for that is what caused these issues. Will Cypress Adventures reopen for 1985? We hope it will reopen for the next season, but it has to stay closed for now while we come up with a solution to our issues. We may potentially put the park up for sale if necessary. Is this the end of Cypress Adventures? I doubt it. We will try everything we can to keep Cypress Adventures alive for everyone for years to come. ------------------------------------------------------- Stay tuned for updates on Cypress Adventures Cypress Adventures as of August 1984

April 1984 Things aren't looking good for the future of Cypress Adventures. Rodeo and Big Wheel are still closed, but Skyrama and Runaway Express are also closed too with no word of reopening. I checked out the new Caribbean Port section of the park and it was pretty much deserted. No one cared about checking that area out which is a shame because it's a really nice area. I probably won't be visiting this park as much this year unless things turn around. Skyrama with its cabin stuck up top. Gunslinger was open with a long line Rodeo still closed Runaway Express closed with no word of reopening Big Wheel still closed Excalibur still has a lot of attention, unlike the new area nearby... Lets check out Caribbean Port! Octopus was relocated to Caribbean Port, which makes more sense theme wise New kiddie ferris wheel Themeing Ship getting attacked Pirate Ship was a fun ride it's set on a lake which adds to the fun!

Yes it is. I removed one of the slides for it, but in return I plan on building a new slide complex so the land it sits on doesn't go unused. If that's alright?

I tried a few different ideas for this scenario, and I like this one the most. I haven't gotten all the stars nor finished the park, but I thought I did enough to share. I decided to relocate some of the existing carnival rides and will build a hotel in the spot soon. I used the new chairlift ride to transport the guests I decided to try a beach boardwalk styled park trying some landscaping canopies for shade to escape the hot summer sun one of the relocated rides redone into "WaveBreaker"

Nice and challenging! This scenario gave me a chance to try the new DLC on it and it works great. I haven’t gotten all the stars yet but it’s a great scenario!

NEW FOR 1984 The all new immersive land, Caribbean Port is coming to Cypress Adventures! Rides include: -Pirate Wheel (for families) -Octopus -Pirate Ship Looking forward to another great year at Cypress Adventures Concept art for Caribbean Port

Wow they sure are making a lot of progress! Can’t wait to ride!

Don't worry I only listed parks that will get HITP soon.

It’ll happen. Most of the parks have HITP now and all that remains is Darien Lake and Great Escape (unless I overlooked something)

Adding Dueling Dragons at IOA and Georgia Cyclone at SFoG.

Yay we’re getting a Vekoma SLC! Can’t wait to see what else is coming!

NAME THE NEW LAND! Cypress Adventures is hosting a contest to name the new land that's coming in 1984! The name must meet these requirements -The name must be a pirate theme -It must be 2 word long (name will be picked in a week)

July 1983 I'm starting to hear rumors that Cypress Adventures is starting to do poorly financially and they closed some rides to save some money. I decided to check out the park to see what has changed. Octopus and its queue was removed. On my way to grab some lunch at Joe's Tavern, I saw that they're teasing a 1984 addition. I don't know if they are making a good choice to push a new addition for next year, I guess we'll see soon. I think I'll skip Excalibur this trip... Big Wheel was closed Runaway Express just reopened after a breakdown, so I took advantage of the empty line Rodeo was also closed. Rode Gunslinger before leaving. See you next time

I don’t think they given up on Xcalibur. If you view the park map, they removed the ride icons from the back half of the park. It’s possible that they decided to remove Xcalibur too since it won’t be up at all for HITP

April 1983 Well Excalibur has been open for 2 weeks now, but I wasn't able to get there until today due to my job. My thoughts on Excalibur: Awesome! The coaster has some great pops of airtime, especially since it's nothing but airtime hill after airtime hill. The trick track is kind of a unique element, but it doesn't add much to the experience. I highly recommend riding Excalibur in the back row! Here's my report: Octopus is closed off and has its signage removed. I wonder where this crowd is heading to No more walls blocking off the Excalibur section! Excalibur's entrance You can only see the lift from the queue This photo shows how long the line is Excalibur's train You can see most of the layout in this shot the trick track section I decided to check if Excalibur affected the other coasters popularity, Twister's line has gotten a bit shorter, but it's still a popular ride Runaway Express is still very popular! Makes sense since this is the only coaster that families can enjoy due to the 42" height. Excalibur and Twister are both 48" rides. Ending this report on this shot of Excalibur. I'll be waiting for the back row now.

Y’all just need to give them time. It takes time to count how many spots they can put ads on in the park to make it a six flags park

^ They're going to make the name change, Usually Six Flags doesn't update any major stuff on their site until after holiday in the park. Don't expect anything until February to March
